A single visit, multidisciplinary approach to the management of traumatic tooth crown fracture.
TL;DR: An immediate restorative technique resolving the acute problem of traumatic tooth fracture with pulpal and periodontal involvement, in which the fragment(s) are re-alignable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of conventional film with different digital and digitally filtered images in the detection of simulated internal resorption cavities--an ex vivo study in human cadaver jaws.
TL;DR: All systems, except PSP, produced similar results in detecting simulated internal resorption, with the apical region being the most difficult to detect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammatory cytokines in normal and irreversibly inflamed pulps: A systematic review.
TL;DR: It may be concluded that even by combining two protein quantification methods inconsistencies between studies exist, and this supports the rationale that further high-quality clinical studies are needed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of clinical outcomes of endodontic microsurgery: 1 year versus long-term follow-up.
TL;DR: There was no significant difference in the clinical outcome after endodontic microsurgery when comparing 1-year follow-up periods with longer follow- up periods.
